About Clinical Neurodynamics
In 1995, Michael Shacklock proposed the concept of neurodynamics in physical therapy. This book, Clinical Neurodynamics, takes that concept into the clinic and is Shacklock's international best selling, ground-breaking and innovative text on diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a neurodynamic component. Published by Elsevier, Oxford (2005), the book follows the process of neurodynamics from beginning to end with emphasis on manual therapy for clinical application.
